    No, Tilly! But you can go into the 'activities' section and add it in there. But if it is a bumpy route, then it sometimes gets confused. I don't bother correcting the poor gizmo - if it credits me with steps, I'll happily accept them...

    My standardisation has gone well today. I passed the first test. And the second. Will do the third one tomorrow.

    Dh has regressed with his cold and will be sent to bed early after his tea. I have made him one with plenty of veggies - 9! Ha ha!! And he'll be going into the spare room!!!

    Steps have been pitiful. Oh well.

    Have discovered the thrill of ys bargains, with 'bargains' being the important approach. Got 2x 6 eggs for 49p each today.

    Got some stuffing and sewing done too.

    All in all a quiet and rewarding day.

    I have been suffering with destroyed feet on my runs but managed to get a pair of brooks trainers online for £35 plus delivery. Best thing I did, no blood on my 10k runs anymore!

    It's a relief to be through the first round!!! Pay per hour = peanuts, as the admin side takes so much time. Each year I think I'll be 'better' organised and quicker. Nope.

    Thank you Tilly - I'm trying to make sure I appreciate each day - especially my days off - and relax my shoulders/neck.

    Oooh, brooks. Nice! Used to run in Saucony or New Balance. But now it's been so long, I need to go and try them on. And I need to be in the right frame of mind / mood. With the right socks on.

    Transformation Week 4 beginneth, lighter than week 3, and 4lb down from the start. It has been a week of little hard exercise and not even much gentle stuff either!

    Dh is on PA and I'm on Kids Klub, so a fairly early start today. Dh slept in the spare room. Just as well as dd woke at 4.24 and dh brought her in with me. Cue not much sleep thereafter for me.

    - Kids Klub
    - late lunch
    - 2.30 be in
    - playground? If not too wet
    - finish batch 2 of standardisation
    - finish some bunnies and snowmen, doing the little bits they need

    Kids club all done and dusted. I realised at the end that I hadn't sat down at all, and had done about 7k steps. Go me!

    Late lunch has been scoffed down and I was in for 2.30. Another £1 in the kitty - yay!

    The rain has stopped and we have glorious sunshine so dd is clamouring for the playground. A wash is on, but will go on the airer later.

    Spent some pennies in 1ce1and: milk, loo roll and rasp magnums (yummy!). Milk was the vital one, but couldn't wait another day. Ah well, still on 2/20 NSD.

    Off to play!

    2 bunnies completed!

    Playground visited.

    Over 11k steps so far - most unusual for a Sunday.

    Washing all done and hung up.

    Tomorrow:
    - talk to TL re standardisation
    - cut out some bunnies
    - cut out some smaller bunnies - just 2, and try making them up
    - minimal ironing (need trousers for work on tues...)
    - finish snowmen - buttons, scarf + bell
    - sort out the lavenders
    - cut out some snowmen with bigger heads and slimmer bodies (so, a new pattern, then!)

    All in all, a chilling day, no manic diy (although there's a list as long as my arm of possible jobs).

    Managed to send dh up to bed early by putting the snooker on the telly, ha ha!
